## Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council is planning a Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (PPME) for the provision of User Voice services in the health and social work category. The Council invites organisations to participate by submitting a completed Supplier Questionnaire through the In-Tend system by the return deadline of 1st August 2023.

This tender process by the Hertfordshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services industry to provide input on packaging and scoping potential future contracts. Organisations that can contribute to developing equal working partnerships and improving service delivery are well-suited to participate in this tender. The PPME stage is not part of a formal procurement process, but feedback received will inform the Council's decision-making process for potential future opportunities.

## Notice

The user voice and Healthwatch Hertfordshire voluntary sector contracts deliver a range of services to support the development of equal working partnerships between people who have experience of using care services (people with lived experience), carers and paid officers; bringing together different ways of seeing things, knowledge and experience to design and help make services better. The contracts play a fundamental role in ensuring that individuals can be enabled to speak up on behalf of themselves and others.Please log in to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home to review the PPME Document for full details
